REMINDER: Do not use images/renders you don't own!

Can I use images off this site: www.narutomania.com ?
In their rules is not said that you cannot use the images, only that you can't claim them as your own.

My question is regarding this statement:

In short, you CAN:
* Images off Gaia

This was a profile I made for my mule accounts so it was not sold for a profit, but would using an Gaia image for a purchasable profile, such as the kitty be allowed?

[nikachuu]

I have a Question. I'm currently making a Shop for Profile Layouts, however, I do want to have some Freebies for people when they want to get them. Is it okay to use Copyrighted Images Such as Inuyasha, Anime and stuff for Freebies as Layouts?? Not charging ANY gold whatsoever for them?

I have the same question - This question was unanswered. I just want to be sure of this, otherwise I will take down my Freebies that I have.

Images are all right to be used in freebies, unless the owner specifically says that he/she doesn't want his/her work used

A good quantity of the photoshopping I do is on either extremely old art (e.g. from sites that have shut down and broken of links to the web long ago) or from art clearly released into non-copyrought protection. Can I still sell my products, even though they are created from either of those two sources ?

Technically...using a commercial image (Ichigo for example) in a gfx design to sell on Gaia isnt considered monetary gain. GG has no value in the real world.

As narutomania.com do not own Naruto, you will need to ask the actual copyright holders of Naruto, i.e. Masashi Kishimoto or Viz Media. Since you are actually using the images to gain profit, this is required. You are of course allowed to make for yourself or others for free.

Yes, this is ok.

This rule has been in place for quite a long time now. @_@

If you are referring to a statement with regard to having already gained permission from someone, a link to the screencap will suffice at the beginning of the thread.

In the first scenario you will still need to obtain permission before using them. If you can't find the original artist then you may not use them I'm afraid. In the 2nd scenario, I cannot say offhand but check through the terms of the images and contact the artist where possible. Many artist which offer royalty free images intend on the images only being used for personal use and not for the exchange of money, real or virtual.

Yes, this is ok as long as you clearly link back to the website you got them from. Such a shop should be made in the main Mini Shops forum. If you are making for yourself or others for free, no credit need be given, although you can if you want to.

Technically this may be true but I have spoken to a few artists who have disliked users making a profit, real or virtual out of their hard work. We are protecting the rights of such artists as well as encouraging users to make stuff 100% themselves without using such images.

[Washu_Takahashi]

I made these images based off of Pokemon. Would I be allowed to sell them?

[Shizumi Sama]

I have a question, what if, i took a Render, and cropped it, made a thiner lighter layer to it, add a border, and some letters. Would that still considered Illegal to gaia?
